I've been working with this tutorial and have got it to work for the most part: [URL]. However the preload bar doesn't start until around 30%. After that, it works great. Is there any reason it wouldn't be displaying the bar right off the bat?
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to make a if statement that only loads like 20% then it plays. I always used things that wait for the whole movie to be loaded. I just want to give a head start of 20% to the movie.
View 10 RepliesI have a full flash site that loads a lot of external flash files. They are not all needed though for the main interaction. So let's say there's five links from the homepage, each one sending to a different page. Out of those five, there's two that are essential and that are pre-loaded, and three that will be loaded only if the user clicks on them. Now, I thought that, while the user is browsing one of the two essential pages, why not preload the other pages in the cache? This way he won't have to wait later on.
So my config is:
1 - preload pages 1 and 2
2 - Load pages 3, 4, 5 in the case user is browsing page 1 or 2
3 - If user clicks on page 3, 4 or 5, load this page
4 - If user clicks on 3, 4, or 5, preload the clicked page and stop the preloading of the two others
5 - If user clicks on another non-essential page, resume loading of the page
Ok, steps 1, 2 and 3 are obvious and easy. But I'm stuck for steps 4 and 5. If I begin preloading the pages 3 4 and 5, how can I "pause" two of them to let the page clicked by the user use as much bandwidth as possible? And if the user clicks another page, and it has been loaded up to 70%, or 30% or whatever, how will I resume the downloading from there? I am confused. I hope my question is clear enough. Basically, if someone can point me to a way to stop a preloader, meaning, stop it from downloading an external file, and resume it later from where it stopped, I think I could work up the rest.
Ive just finished a flash web site that ive used a lot of XML for loading my images from thumbnails. Its works great.
Except it takes maybe 3-4 minutes to load. I think whats happening is its loading all the images in that XML file before it even shows the first thumbnail, so thats like 2MB its loading.
Is there a way to preload all of the xml files at the start on my Flash splash page?
Here is the link to what im explaining.

Have set up a file which preloads all of my images from an XML before displaying. However I'm having problems, one is the preload bar flashes slightly at the start, then is visible as I scroll through each image in the galleries. I've attached my fla file >> here <<

i am making a quiz. My problem is that once the user completes the quiz and wants to start again the quiz is already on the last question. How do i make it so that once the user clicks start again the questions and answers arrays start from the beginning, sort of reset themselves.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";

Here is the action scrip that I created. Correct it if you can.
Process.visible = false;
Cycles.visible = false;
stop();

I want to allow the swf to scale when the browser window is resized, but I don't want it to increase over 100% (so it should only scale down).This is an example of the kind of scaling the client wants:[URL]But again, it should stop at 100% going up.

I need to convert a value that I have loaded from an ArcGIS Server and convert it to a percentage. The data loads just fine and on the mouse over I see the correct data I just need to make it a percentage on line 27.
I am using Flash Builder 4 and the ArcGIS API for Flex.

I have a vertical list of movieclips added to the stage all spaced out evenly from top to bottom based of the last movieclips position. I also have defined a center Y point which I would like to find out the percentage of each clip away from that center point. The reason for this number is to scale everything from the center point which is scale 1 then they next item from the center would scale to a percentage from the center point. each clips scaling percentage would be based off of how far they are from the center point in each direction. Keeping in mind the center point is always scale to 1. I also want to make sure my scale never goes below 0.3 so the range has to be between 0.3 and 1 my centerY is also not half the height of the content but a number I decide. AS it the content might be 1000 in height but the center point could be set to 300.

View 0 Replies how I could go about reversing percent loaded so it goes from 1 - 0 instead of 0-1. I tried
ActionScript Code:
var percent:Number = evt.bytesLoaded/evt.bytesTotal;
trace(" num = "+ Math.abs((percent - 1)));
I've been trying to do this for awhile, and I've read the boards. I've seen a few options as to how to do this, but some of them do not explain how the css/js etc work, and I just don't understand that stuff enough to go it alone.
What I'm trying to do : Create a flash site that only 'downsizes' when the browser is too small to view it. I don't want it to upscale/upsize.
For example. The movie is 1000 x 800 . If a viewer has a viewable area that is less than 1000x800 the movie will scale [ the way it does when published at 100% ]. BUT if the viewer say has a 23' cinema screen, the movie will not get bigger than 1000x800.
